Integrating the complexity is not what Nike, but for the promotion of additional style, the patent dark positioned along the bottom using the shoe is a huge critical and as to the mode.

With all the plot changed, Air Max shoes 97 Nile still have its perfect weapon that could possibly be the entire period of your Max Air unit time in France.

Prints are popping up in the apparel business and consequently we are also seeing them on our tennis pros!  The prints are not as technically complicated as we are seeing in other parts of the fashion business but at least it is a start.  Did you see Rafa and Verdasco sporting this Nike printed t recently?

This type of printed graphic is headed in the right direction. I would like to see the trend of prints and graphics crossover MORE into the tennis world.  It keeps the sport “hip” and competes with the best fashion companies in the world. Prints create motion, excitement and shout for attention.  They can be used for “marketability”. Why not add some spice to the game. Historically, tennis has stuck to classic solids with a punch of “color-blocking” or color trims. Boring!!!  Lacoste is one company that sticks to it’s classic colors with a touch of contrast trim and maybe a stripe here and there.  They offer terrific color options but it is time to mix it UP!

In this time of ever evolving textile technology, prints on sportswear can get very elaborate and make a variety of statements unlike we have seen before. It is easier now to print on fabrics- such as we print photos and paper.  The fashion business is booming with fantastic prints from Prada to Gwen Stefani. A Swiss company (are you reading this Roger?) named Akris has created a stir with its inspiring printed fashions.  Akris’ designer, Albert Kriemler recently used digitally printed photographs for his couture collection.  These powerful prints  have made Akris very successful throughout the world. On this dress below – Kriemler used  a photograph by Jürgen Schreiter of the Wedding Tower in Darmstadt, Germany, reproducing it on clothing with such precision that it’s a tribute to digital-printmaking.

K-Swiss is a leader in some of these “digital prints” – Here they mix color blocking and a digital printed photograph.

Nike is also offering some novelty prints that are rich and colorful.

It is time for street prints, ethnic graphics that  you can already find in skateboard wear and snowboard graphics. It is time for African prints, Batiks,  fractal prints (computer generated art-like prints and others.  It would also be great to see printed “hardwear” and “headwear” in the sport of tennis, too!  No – we don’t need printed logos.

There is enough of that!

Fila is trying here but I think this is a bit “mainstream”.

I want to see someone take more of a risk!  While Adidas, Nike and Fila have made some  small attempts  with this seasons styles I dare them to dig deeper into more creative graphics.

I propose more of of the digitalized photographic prints  and don’t stop with clothing. Stick  prints and graphics  on tennis racquets, caps and visors and shoes. Much like they use prints on surf boards, etc. The tennis world will explode with excitement !  Kick it up a notch! Create an appeal for the youth!

Although Southern Oregon wine production is a fraction of that in the Willamette Valley, growth and stability of existing wineries bodes well for the future, and new investment is narrowing the gap.

"It's mainly from people out of state looking to get into the wine industry, and they are choosing Southern Oregon for their new enterprise; we're starting to see significant investments of $5 (million) to $10 million," Olmo said.

With those substantial investments come estate properties of 100 acres where vineyards are planted, wineries are built and equipment is installed.

"A decade ago, people moved here and began in the garages, looking to grow a very small business," she said. "Now we're starting to see those business become a financial success, encouraging additional investment. They are aiding and attracting new businesses with larger visions and larger initial capital input."

Beyond that, Olmo said, those newcomers often arrive with more than passing business skills.

"We have a new neighbor who is building a winery who has lots of experience with international exports," she said. "He's helping us understand where there is an opportunity for our products not only outside of Oregon, but outside the U.S. For the majority of us in Oregon, those things weren't part of our original business plans."

With growth, however, come obstacles as competition from other wine regions intensifies. Small, family wineries can expect greater difficulty navigating through the wholesale tier in many states.

"The Willamette Valley pinot noir is well known, but particularly for Southern Oregon, there is still lot of work to be done on awareness and visibility," Miller said.

Additionally, the surge of planting between 2005 and 2008 is coming to fruition. History suggests that grape growers and wineries have the most financial difficulties when there are too many grapes.

"Over-supply is always a present danger for the wine industry," Miller said. "It's easy to over-plant. When you get a surge in demand for a variety in the region, everyone plants — they don't pay attention to what others are planting. You have to know how to sell the volume and have a concrete and reasonable plan before you add capacity."

Adam Mansbach, the author of "Go The Heck To Sleep" (or something like that), became a bestselling children's writer BEFORE his book was even published. Now he's richer than Donald Trump (probably) and more famous than Harry Potter.

I thought that when I became a writer, fame, fortune and a glamorous life would follow -- margarita lunches with editors, world tours with publicists, and intimate chats with Oprah (oops, missed that window).

The truth is, for most writers, the literary life is about as fictional as a character in a Dan Brown novel. I should know. I live it every day.

Here's a sample of my literary life, in case you were wondering why you haven't seen me on "The Jerry Springer Show" yet (he still won't return my calls).

6 a.m. -- Still asleep. Are you kidding me?

7 a.m. -- Open one eye. Find three cats sleeping on my legs. Legs are numb. Dreamed I was paralyzed. Get the newspaper. Scan the obituaries to see if anyone my age has died.

7:30 a.m. -- Roll out of bed, trying not to disturb cats. Take shower, dress, put on makeup so I don't frighten my cats or grandchildren.

8 a.m. -- Feed cats, take drugs and open laptop. Check email. Ignore irate letter regarding my gall bladder surgery column. Reply to a dozen Facebook posts regarding a spelling error I made. Watch six videos from my cousin featuring funny animals.

5 p.m. -- Say goodbye to grandkids and have a "glass" of wine. Wonder if there's still time in my life to become an alcoholic. Watch news. Nothing about me.

6 p.m. -- Eat dinner of leftovers -- chicken thigh, Chinese takeout and egg salad. Take Zantac and other drugs and wash them down with another "glass" of wine. Husband asks how book is coming. Wonder if wine bottle has been used as a murder weapon.

8 p.m. -- Watch "My Yard Goes Disney" and "Cupcake Wars" to relax. Decide a cupcake mystery set in Disneyland would sell a heckalot of books.

10 p.m. -- Go to bed and read a rubber stamping mystery. Fall asleep and dream about being stamped to death by my own grandkids while trying to write a sequel to "Go the Heck to Sleep."

SUKABUMI, Indonesia: Workers making Converse sneakers in Indonesia say supervisors throw shoes at them, slap them in the face and call them dogs and pigs. Nike, the brand's owner, acknowledges that such abuse has occurred among the contractors that make its hip high-tops but says there was little it could do to stop it.

Dozens of workers interviewed by The Associated Press and a document released by Nike show that the footwear and athletic apparel giant has far to go to meet the standards it set for itself a decade ago to end its reliance on sweatshop labor.

Nike says nearly two-thirds of the factories that make Converse products fail to meet its standards for contract manufacturers but insists it cannot address many of those problems because many factories operate under contracts that were set before Nike bought Converse in 2003.

That does not appear to explain abuses that workers allege at the Pou Chen Group factory in Sukabumi, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Jakarta - it didn't start making Converse products until four years after Nike bought Converse. One worker there said she was kicked by a supervisor last year after making a mistake while cutting rubber for soles.

"We're powerless," said the woman, who like several others interviewed spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals. "Our only choice is to stay and suffer, or speak out and be fired."

The 10,000 mostly female workers at the Taiwanese-operated Pou Chen plant make around 50 cents an hour. That's enough, for food and bunkhouse-type lodging, but little else. Some workers interviewed by the AP in March and April described being hit or scratched in the arm - one man until he bled. Others said they were fired after filing complaints.

"They throw shoes and other things at us" said a 23-year-old woman in the embroidery division. "They growl and slap us when they get angry.

"It's part of our daily bread."

Mira Agustina, 30, said she was fired in 2009 for taking sick leave, even though she produced a doctor's note.

"It was a horrible job," she said. "Our bosses pointed their feet at us, calling us names like dog, pig or monkey." All are major insults to Muslims. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation.
